Sharing and Running Applications
You can Share or Run a selected Application using the buttons that appear at the top right corner of the Application page in the X-Console:

Share Application Examples
Clicking Share from the Application page produces a URL link to the selected Application, which can be shared with users. The Share popup dialog will vary slightly, depending on your chosen Application channel type.
In each case, you can append additional Flow parameters to the generated URL link by entering them in the URL Parameters field, as needed.
You can produce a shortened URL by selecting Yes from the Shorten URL dropdown.
To share the Application, click Generate Link and then Copy the resulting information. URL and embed links can be emailed to a customer, added to your SMS messages, or distributed using other means to enable others access to the selected Flow.
